NFL Draft Order 2017: Rounds 2-7 Order Of Picks & Schedule

While making the ideal pick is essential to acquiring the best talent, it is equally as important to understand where an NFL franchise makes its selection. This year’s NFL Draft is very deep and offers great talent from top to bottom. Although some of the best players will be taken in the first round, there will still be a multitude of choices in the latter rounds that will yield a ton of great young talent that will make their prospective teams immensely more competitive.

It is also worth noting that while every team will participate in the draft, some organizations will have more picks than others. The two teams with the most picks are the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns (both with 11). The two teams with the least amount of draft picks are the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills (both with six). While having more picks does not guarantee better picks, it certainly gives those teams ample picks more options with how they want to build their team for the future.
